Frequently Asked Questions

Synthetic snow refers to technology that has been in use in the U.K. (where they are called "dry slopes") and other place for more than 40 years. It is meant to create the same experience as skiing on natural snow, and the newest products on the market are actually very good.

A ski gym combines an indoor synthetic slope with a full service fitness facility, for year around skiing and fitness in any weather, all under one roof and one membership. It's such a great combination, in fact, that Urban Snow may be the last gym membership you ever buy.

Whether you are an experienced rider or have never set foot on a slope before, we've got you covered. Urban Snow will have lessons and clinics, equipment rental, and a beginners area to help you learn the sport. It will be the most convenient and ffordable way to learn, and when you do get up to the mountains you'll have a much better time because you'll be ready.

Our synthetic slope will have a layer of padding to absorb energy and cusion falls. The surface can be a little abrasive so we will require long pants and long sleeves, and gloves. Just like riding on a mountain, you should always wear a helment.
